Pros

Nice snacks and lunches, and that is literally it

Cons

Can only repeat what has been said before, unprofessional, backstabbing, managers with no clue what they’re doing, don’t expect any training to onboard and do your job, don’t ever expect any support or to develop your career. If you’re interested in having a career there please be willing to suck up to everyone, be treated like a piece of sh** and ignored for months until acknowledged and maybe eventually make it into the right group of people to have the right to get pissed all day and don’t do work but be praised. But don’t dare to actually try to do your job and be good and get anything positive from it. It’s just a horrible place to work and really bad for your mental health as well as your career.

Pros

Free snacks and beers, lots of events

Cons

The culture is so bad, kayak is making people crying for small things. The reason why they are investing lots in events and drinks is just to retain people. Promotions based on who you know inside and lack of trainings. Engineers are just getting the shares and they are bully against others, and Kayak is promoting this. Marketing is managed poorly by Copenhagen, CPH is getting all the promotions and there is lack of professionalism. They are racist towards other cultures as well. The energy is the worst thing I've ever experienced.

Pros

Okay to stay for a year or so. A few really outstanding smart people.

Cons

Random promotions, titles and raises. Firings are random too. Titles mean nothing, senior engineers sometimes worse than non-seniors. Crappy managers, most of projects end up in chaos, which is called “agile” here. Zero communication between departments, throw over the fence attitude.
